The Ice Alpha

11

"Happy birthday." I wake up on the sofa to a beautiful voice.

"Mornin' Han." I mumble. Gosh I miss having a bed.

"You are Alpha today. People will feel it. They will know the Alpha is still alive." She says.

"Technically I'm still not proven until I issue an Alpha command." I tell her sitting up.

"Then do it." She says and I shake my head.

"You are the only wolf here and I won't order you around." I tell her and she scoffs.

"One command to prove you are Alpha is not ordering me around." She says and I sigh.

"Sit down." I command her  pointing beside me and she immediately does so with a big smile.

"Not so hard now is it Alpha?" She asks and I roll my eyes wrapping an arm around her. "So should we mark each other before or after you confront the pack?"

"I think we should do both ceremonies that will make our little family before the elders start to meddle. They might try to keep us apart if we don't." I tell her and she nods.

"Do we want vows or just bite?" She asks.

"Hannah I have been searching for a mate. I'm glad they never worked out because you and Ollie are my family. I promise to protect you both with all that I am and love you as a mate should." I respond.

"Bane... you are a good man. I couldn't ask for a better father for my pup. You accept me, my son, and my first mate. Thank you for everything. I promise to protect and love you. I promise to be the best mate I can be. May nothing but death separate us." She responds ending it with the old words no one uses any more.

""May nothing but death separate us." I echo and we mark each other.

"This is all happening so fast." She says burying her face in my neck.

"It is, but I will choose to love you forever. Not just emotion but choice. This will work out." I tell her.

"Thank you."

Our moment is cut short by a squaling infant.

"I should make him my son now. The process will likely make him sleep a few hours and then we can get back to becoming fully mated." I wink at her and she blushes. It's so easy to embarras her.

"Let's feed him first."

"Will this hurt him?" She asks as we get ready to start the ritual.

"No more than a shot at the doctors office." I answer.

I cut open my palm making Hannah gasp then take a little needle and poke Oliver's arm. In the old days they would cut the kid too but I can't do that to him a little poke is plenty. I hold his arm with the hand I cut.

"I, Alpha Bane Alexander Haught, claim this child as my own. I accept him as my son, equal in all rights and privileges to any other children I may father. He is my responsibility, my son, my blood, from this day forward to the end of time." I can feel my power flowing into him. This can never be undone. I have a son.

"Come on pup let's get you down for a nap." I say wiping the residual blood off of my hand and his arm before picking Oliver up and taking him to his room.

"That was amazing. I could practically see your Alpha-ness enter him." Hannah whispers as I leave his room and I chuckle.

"Yea well he is my pup now... so back to our little ceremony. I don't think we finished it." I remind her.

"Have you ever had sex before?" She bluntly asks making me blush.

"Well... no." I respond.

"Come on mate." She laughs leading me to her room.
